Juanito wanted to play with his friend, Jacob, who was in his class at school.Juanito and Jacob were the same age.Both their names started with the letter J.They even lived in the same neighborhood.
Juanito walked over to Jacob's house.He brought along his basketball.Juanito had never been to Jacob's house.Juanito only knew where Jacob lived.
When Juanito got to Jacob's front door, he reached up and rang the doorbell.
"Hi, Jacob. Can you come out to play?" asked Juanito.
"Sure," said Jacob after he asked his mother."But only for a little while. I'm having dinner soon."
Before they stepped off the front porch, Juanito asked Jacob, "Hey, what is that little box by the door?Jacob said it was a mezuzah as he reached up to touch it softly and kissed his two fingers.
Juanito repeated the word, "MeZOOzah? What is it for?"
Juanito knew English and Spanish, but he had never heard this word before.
"It has Hebrew words from the Shema inside," Jacob answered.
"ShehMA? What's that?" asked Juanito as he bounced the basketball a couple of times.
Jacob replied, "A few words from the Torah.They're words Jewish people say as we pray every day … Ready to play?"He grew anxious as a cricket started to signal that evening was near.
